For the YoLink users….if I want 4 sensors for 4 freezers, do I need to add the hub?
Or to monitor do I just need the sensors and the app on my phone?

You will need one hub for the 4 sensors to connect to. The hub then sends the info to the app on your phone.

Earlier this year I took advantage of a Thermoworks discount on their Node with one port. The intent was to monitor the freezer and send an alert via wifi if needed. Setup was easy, the alerts worked fine.

My issue with it was for some reason which I fail to remember the details, the display would show the ambient temp instead of the freezer temp. Kinda useless when I walked past the freezer and couldn't see the freezer temp unless I pressed a button. I called Support about the issue, they acknowledged the problem, saying it might be fixed in the future with a firmware update. I wasn't taking that risk given the price and returned it.

I'll stick with my tried and true Thermowotks RT801 which always displays the freezer temp but only has an alarm in the unit itself. Not perfect, but good enough as the freezer is in my basement laundry room which is adjacent to my shop.

Interesting, mine alternates between the temps. I've had them for quite awhile and certainly over a year.

Look at Level Sense.... it does it all, with 100% reliability.

I use the Govee and have been super happy with it.
